The first couple are a true cruise control.

I installed Audiovox CCS100 on mine .It works perfectly .I had a throttle lock and I hated it .You can easily find it on the web .You need to be mechanically inclined to install it .

Excell;
Do you have details on how you did this?

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't take notes when I did it .I am installing another one for my friend soon and I will try to Take pictures as I go .I tried to do that when I installed mine but the useful ones never turned out I guess I got to close .
google Audiovox on ST1300 they have a good write up on how to do it .
On the Silverwing you have to use the speed sensor ,and set the switches different .If you decide you want to try and do it email me and I will try to answer your questions . You need to be very mechanically inclined to do this .I was an auto mechanic for 45 years and have installed hundreds of cruise controls and it had me tearing my hair out . You will have to make some parts . I actually got a vacuum part from an auto wrecker.I tried to
post some links for you but couldn't figure out how to do it .

Cruise control! Nerts. I can see my scooter turning into a $25,000 Goldwing real fast.

Oh, well.

All I need is a Corbin saddle, Motorcycle Cruise Control and Laminar Lip. And brighter driving lights. And that's IT. I'll be set.

Yeah, right, :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

Don't forget the reverse gear, Mickey

What no need for a larger hard case trunk or enhanced horn?

What about the charging system, tire pressure monitor, GPS, grip heaters, cup holder, improved exhaust and variator, power commander, cruise boards Lit license plate frame, additional rear lighting, side lighting, aux lighting in addition to headlights, saddle bags, and believe me I could go on and on and on and on and on.

A fully loaded Silverwing can be done for about an additional 5k over the basic bike.
If you plan in advance, purchase all items at the same time and install them at the same time. You should also have your mechanic write down everything he does so he or any other mechanic can refer to his notes and understand what he did. Even if it costs you a half hour of a Mechanic's time to put it in writing, it will be worth it down the road.

Essentially a Goldwing for about half what a fully loaded Goldwing costs.

I had that trrottle lock on my Helix and didn't like it either. I got one of those simple palm pads that just slip on and you can rest your hand on it and it really takes the pressure off of your wrist. I just put one on this bike and that's seemed to be all I need.

Bill thanks for the web site it was useful. When i get it installed i will be sure to post
